A report by Kenya News Agency indicated the girl's mother went to the school to inquire on the whereabouts of her daughter and a search party traced the candidate in the house of a local police officer identified as Gregory Khaniri.

The school Principal, John Mburu, said the school management was surprised to learn the girl did not go home for the money but instead went to Khaniri’s house.

The officer's house was raided by angry members of the public only to find the girl scantily dressed and washing clothes as the wife of the house.
